As usual, Morganton put on a clinic for how to run a match. I is in and out in less than an hour. One RO was even quickly explaining the range command sequence before a shooters first string.

As for my shooting, that pride thing showed up just before the fall.... again.

Going into my last stage, the plates, I was at 38.xx in Competition and 43.xx in Guardian. The plates are usually best stage. I thought today would be the day I broke the 60 barrier.

Well, I fell apart on the plates to the point that I actually left one standing. I was at a 67.xx in Guardian and a 70.xx in Competition to end the day. I'll check my scores again when I get back home. Right now I am drowning my sorrows in a hamburger.

My dad and I arrived around 11:30 today and registered for entries 635-637. Not sure how many walk ups showed after that.

I had a slight problem in when I ended up at my last stage I had 2 labels for the same entry left instead of one for each. Since I was shooting 17 civ/comp it didn't matter too much but I'm not sure what flag that might throw when they tab up the results.

I notified the RO and they brought over someone from glock ( Chris maybe?) and he said no big deal since the rule set was the same. Checking my score sheets on glock m the RO wrote comp17 on both of my score sheets so I guess it just slipped by both of us. My fault for not verifying, hopefully it doesn't cause problems.

I was more consistent today with both of my entries being within 6 seconds which makes me feel like I've improved in the year since my first ever gssf match at morganton last year.

I wish I could shoot at morganton 4 times a year and not just because its only 30 minutes away. I would say the same even if it were 3 hours away. Can they get outdoor match of the year 2 years on the trot?

I love this match so much, and it's not just the golf carts ferrying you back and forth. I wish all matches could be arranged in a circle with you in the middle. You're never more than 50 feet from a stage and that speeds things up a lot.

I went on Sunday around 9:30, signed up for all stages then squadded at 5 o' Glock and Glock M first. The only wait was plates because they had backed up despite converting the practice one into a real stage. I finished both of my rounds by 11:45, so I was happy.

I'd also like to recommend the Sleep Inn right off I-40 on Sterling Rd. It was only 60$ with a free hot breakfast and the rooms were decent.

Match was well run as always. I shot poorly for the most part but had a lot of fun and got to meet the famous Wei Young. Very nice lady, talked a little shooting stratagey with her. And got lost on the way home!

Thanks DannyR for giving Alan his full title as I had posted the other from my phone. Alan and I had discussed the subject of training new shooters @ Prospect Hill. So, I was thrilled to see the training pistols and "new shooter" area @ Morganton. I hope that it becomes a regular sight at all GSSF matches.
